Hi, 

Lisa Wilson here with The Raw Food Institute, and I conduct Raw Food Immersion and Detoxification nutrition classes throughout the year. 

Have you ever heard this before?  "I'm going through detox & feeling lousy..."  

My  response:  "Good.  It's working." 

Here is what happens:  Toxins including heavy metals, chemical from our air, food & water get lodged in our tissues.  Sometimes there are lodged for decades.  Yuck, right?  It gets worse. You may have Parasites.  Yup, ugly little creatures that may live inside you, stealing your nutrients, and they should not be there.  (read more about symptoms of Parasites)

What possibly can you expect when you go through detoxification?

-tongue coating (yup, like a fuzzy carpet on your tongue)detoxification

-fatigue

-nausea

-headaches

-muscle fatigue

-diarrhea

-screaming headaches

-body odor

-rashes

-acne  and more.....

There are many ways to detox your body.  Simply eliminating white flour, sugars, meat & dairy can often trigger detox symptoms.  

Here are other ways to cleanse & detoxify:

-mono diet

-raw food diet

-juice feast

-green smoothie feast

-herbal cleanse

-water fast

and more!

Your reaction to each of these will depend on how toxic your body is.  Yes, even raw vegans experience detox symptoms just because of the world we live in.  We are daily assaulted with free radical in our environment.  If you start to feel tired, moody etc, your body is speaking to you.  Please listen.

How to minimize your detox symptoms:

-sweat

-saunas

-soqi bed, or far infrared mat

-salt water or clay bath

-skin brushing

-tongue scraping

-rebounding

-chi machine

-enemas or colonics

These toxins need to exit the body & some of the best ways are to exit through the colon, or the skin.  You need to be sure your colon is clean & you are not constipated.  If you are, these toxins will simply continue to circulate throughout the body & will keep you sick.

Benefits of detoxification:

-achieving BLISS

-feeling refreshed

-feeling clean

-feeling light

-disease prevention

Many people experience a reversal of grey hair.  Some get their high school waist lines back. Others watch wrinkles vanish-- I have!

The process of detoxification is a gift that we have.  It is generations old & has been understood by all of the great historical leaders.  It is our built-in way to clean up our internal homes!

At The Raw Food Institute, we understand this process.  Detoxifying with raw foods can be the gentlest form of detoxification.  PLUS, you are literally flooding your body with gorgeous nutrients at the same time, for CELLULAR REGENERATION!  

Every single session, I am astounded by how far people can come in just a ONE WEEK PERIOD OF TIME.  It is stunning, really.

I HOPE YOU CAN JOIN US IN THE NEW YEAR.
